A modern view of the problem of genital prolapse through the prism of risk factors

Introduction. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is one of the varieties of pelvic floor hernias and has a significant impact on the quality of life of a modern woman. The prevalence of POP is quite high, and the peak values of its occurrence reach 5% in women aged 60 to 69 years. The current trend in the world towards an increase in the occurrence of POP is associated with an increase in the life expectancy of women, the participation of women in the production process, the presence of concomitant somatic pathology, the identification of risk factors in the detection of a small degree of prolapse allows identifying risk groups for rapid progression of POP and timely implementation of therapeutic measures.
